I just finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It's an awesome near future sci fi about an astronaut with amnesia trying to save Earth from impending doom.

I love how technical Weir gets. He really makes me excited about math and science because he shows the practical application of it all. And I especially love the element of discovery that is prominent throughout, but especially in the beginning of the book. It just keeps getting better and better as the main character continues making discoveries about himself and his environment.

The narrator, Ray Porter, did a fine job. He isn't my favorite narrator, but he certainly didn't get in the way, which is enough for me.

Finally, I purchased and listened to the book on Audible.

You probably already know, but in the off chance you don't, he also wrote The Martian. Very similar style, and I definitely recommend that as well.
